I built two drawers in my workbench cabinet ant put two of these in each drawer. Makes a great way to organize and store assorted router bits. I wanted more 1/4” bits in one section so I put 1/2 x 1/4 nylon bushings in some of the 1/2” holes.

Works great. The foam will hold the bits tight even upside down and beibg shaken, however I can get them out with one hand. I built an easy 1/2" plywood box with a slipover lid for travel. I finally got all of the random bits out of their random storage bins and consolidated them in one place.

Perfect storage solution. Bought a generic case from HD, cut the tray to size and suddenly I had a full-blown storage solution for bits scattered all over the shop.

One thing: Once the bit is in a storage slot you'll need to wear leather gloves to protect your fingers when pulling the bit from the tray - the bits stick tightly in the tray and the tray just does not want to release them. I can turn the tray upside down and shake it without losing even 1 bit. Even tried spraying silicone in the slots before inserting the bits. Didn't help very much.

Good product, but Rockler should offer router bit trays that have either 1/4" or 1/2" shank holes. That way those of us with larger collections of bits can keep them organized and separate in a more efficient manner.

Works great. I read the other reviews that say the holes are too tight, and I disagree. The bits are indeed held pretty snugly, but I don't think it is too tight. I routinely extract bits one-bare-handed with no issues. It is better than not holding them tight enough. I only gave it 4 stars because I think that for the money it should be a little larger with at least one more row along the long side, but I am ordering my second one anyway.

The holes are so tight that you have to securely fasten the block down, otherwise you pick up the entire loaded block when trying to remove a single bit. Gave it away to someone who had nothing to store his bits (it is better than nothing) and went back to making my own from a hunk of scrap oak.

The holes are very tight. You have to push down fairly hard to insert the bit. Two hands are required to remove a bit, one to hold down the insert. All this force means that sometimes you come in contact with sharp bit edges. The insert cuts fairly easily for custom shapes and sizes.

The holes are way too tight. I would have to wear thick leather gloves to get bits into and out of the tray without slicing open my fingers. I tried to drill the holes out larger with a 1/2&quot; bit and that did not help much. I'll get a larger bit and try again. Product would be perfect for the drawers of the router table I'm just finishing if it had larger holes, but is not useful as delivered!

The number of bits in my collection is climbing, and I needed something to organize them, hold them in place, and out of harms way. I put the rubber/foam holder into a DeWalt plastic case and all looks good.

How snug do the bits fit into the foam? If installed into a box with a handle would the router bits fall out if stood on its side or even placed upside down? I'm thinking about making a box or modifying the lid to the router bit storage box Rockler offers so that both the bottom of the box and the underside of the lid both store router bits.

BEST ANSWER:The bits have a good tight fit. I cut mine to fit in 2 separate boxes, using the small holes for 1/4 inch drive drill bits. They can be turned upside down and even shaken around without the bits falling out.
